[Intro 1]
[G]
[C]

[Verse 1]
[G]Outside the house
[C]Mr. Simpson announced
[G]That Sally couldn't go to the mee[C]ting
He [G]went on cleaning his
blue Rolls Royce
[C]And she ran inside weeping
[G]She got to her room,
an[C]d tears splashed the picture
Of [G]the new Messiah
She picked up [C]the book of
[G]her father's life
And [C]threw it on the [G]fire

[Verse 2]
She [C]knew [G]from the start
[C]Deep down in [G]her heart
[C]That [G]she and [C]Tommy[G]
[F]were worlds apart
But her mother said, "Never mind, [G]your part
Is to be what you'll be"

[Verse 3]
The theme [F]of the sermon
was 'Come unto me,
[C]An d love will find a way',
So [D]Sally decided [G]to ignore her dad
And [C]sneak out [F]anyway
She spent all afternoon getting [C]ready
And de[F]cided she'd try to touch [C]him
Maybe [F]he'd see that she was free
And talk [C]to her this Sunday

[Verse 4]
[F]She knew from the[C] start
Deep [F]down in her heart
That she [C]and Tommy were worlds apart
But [F]her mother said,
[C]"Never mind, you[F]r part
Is to be what [C]you'll be"

[Verse 5]
She arrived at [F]six, and the
place [C]was swinging
[Bb]To gospel music by nine
Group after group appeared on [C]the stage
And Sally just sat there crying
She bit her nails,
looking [Bb]pretty as a picture
Right in the very front [F]row
And then a DJ wearing a
[G]blazer with a badge
Ran on [C]and said, [D]"Here we [C]go!"
The [G]crowd went crazy As Tommy hit the stage

[Verse 6]
[C]
Little Sally got lost as the po[G]lice bossed
The crowd [C]back in a rage
Soon the atmosphere was cool[G]er As Tommy gave a lesson

[Verse 7]
Sally [C]just
had to let him
know she loved [G]him
[C]And lept up on the [G]rostrum
She [C]ran across stage to the spotlit fig[G]ure
And brushed him [C]on the face
Tommy [G]whirled
around as a uniformed man
Threw her [C]off the [G]stage

[Verse 8]
She knew [G]from [D]the [G]start
Deep [D]down in her heart
[G]That she and Tom[D]my were wor[G]lds apart
But [A]her mother said, "Never mind,
[D]your part
Is to be what you'll be"

[Verse 9]
[G]Her cheek [C]hit a chair and
blood trickled down
Mingling with [G]her tears
Tommy carried on preaching
And his voice filled [C]Sally's
ears
She caught his [G]eye, she had to try
[C]But he [G]couldn't [C]see [G]through
the lights
Her face was gashed,
[C]and the ambulance men
Had to [G]carry [C]her out that night
The crowd went crazy [G]As Tommy left the stage

[Verse 10]
[C]Little
Sally was lost for the price of a
[G]touch
And a gash across her face, oh

[Verse 11]
Sixteen [G]stitches put her right, and
[C]her[F] da[G]d said
"Don't say I didn't warn you"
Sally [F]got married to a rock musician
She met in California
Tommy always talks about the [G]day
The disciples all went [F]wild
Sally still carries a scar [C]on her cheek
To remind her of [D]his smile

[Verse 12]
She knew from [G]the start
Deep [D]down in her heart
[G]That she and [D]Tommy
were worlds apart
But her mother said, "Never mind, your part
Is to be what you'll be"
